As I have noticed from the repo, WINE seems to be outdated.Even after adding a repo for debian sid, still, wine is version 1.1.42.Latest stable version is already 1.2 and dev 1.3.3 (as of this writing).

How can I install the latest stable (1.2) or the latest dev (1.3.3 and updated) for LMDE? Can't I use the sources from WINE for Ubuntu? WINE sources for Ubuntu is always updated to the latest developement version.

To get the latest, ie 1.2 stable or 1.3.3 dev, you will have to download the source tarball and build it on your system. Links for the source tarballs are at the bottom of the page proxima_centauri provided.
